Dear Peter,
Thanks for your kind comments and high rating of my essay. I apologise for this a little belated answer; I have been heavily involved in another project and could not follow FQXi entirely; I am sure I must have missed many exciting essays alas.
I will do my best to follow your interesting works and see whether I can help/critise/... .
Meanwhile feel free to contact my email if you like to discuss something. I would be more than happy to discuss exciting ideas!
Keep motivation and following your nice thoughts,
Alireza
